Weird Celebrity Death: Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter, who began playing guitar at the age of 15. According to the coroner’s report, died in London after choking on his own vomit while intoxicated with sedatives, but conflicting accounts from Hendrix’s companion the night of his death stirred skepticism. Scotland Yard opened an inquiry more than two decades later, but that ended inconclusively. He died September 18, 1970 at the age of 27.

Weird Celebrity Death: George Sanders

Weird Celebrity Death: George Sanders
George Sanders was a Russian-born English film and television actor, singer-songwriter, music composer, and author. Some Hollywood deaths are bizarre because of tragic circumstances. Others are bizarre because of unfortunate accidents. Sometimes, it’s a combination of the two. The death of George Sanders is a different story altogether. Born in Russia to British parents, George Henry Sanders’ family returned to England at the outbreak of the Russian Revolution. After attending college, Sanders made the move into acting. He appeared in several British films before making the trip to Hollywood in the mid-‘30s. Sanders’ suave manners and plummy speaking voice made him an instant go-to choice for directors seeking either a classy gent or a charming villain, and he appeared in a number of now-classic films including Rebecca, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and All About Eve, for which he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1950. Professionally successful, Sanders’ personal life was more checkered. He married multiple times, most of the time unhappily, and most famously to Hungarian sexpot Zsa Zsa Gabor. Sanders developed a drinking problem, and as he entered his 60s, his health began to deteriorate. Dogged by awareness of his increasing infirmity, enfeebled by a stroke, and losing his taste for life, Sanders checked into a hotel in Spain, where he overdosed on barbiturates—five bottles of them—and dashed off one of the most famous suicide notes in history: “Dear World, I am leaving you because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck.” A second note to his sister observed “Don’t be sad. I have only anticipated the inevitable by a few years.” A man who had four colorful wives, a successful Hollywood career, a bestselling autobiography, and an Academy Award dies from boredom? George Sanders either had the most bizarre Hollywood death of all. He died April 25, 1972 at the age of 65.

Weird Celebrity Death: Peggy Entwistle
Peggy Entwistle was a was a Welsh-born English stage and screen actress, who once appeared on stage opposite Humphrey Bogart, entered Hollywood mythology by hurling herself off the Hollywood sign in 1932. Her part in RKO’s “The 13 Women” ended up on the cutting room floor; some say she lept from the 13th letter of the sign, then called Hollywoodland and lit by electric bulbs. Actually, she climbed up 50 feet of an electrician’s ladder behind the H, losing one of her shoes in the process. When she reached the top, she jumped, plunging to her death. Her suicide note read: “I am afraid I am a coward. I am sorry for everything. If I had done this a long time ago, it would have saved a lot of pain. P.E.” She died September 16, 1932 at the age of 24.

Weird Celebrity Death: Jayne Mansfield
Jayne Mansfield was an American actress in film, theatre, and television. She was also a nightclub entertainer, a singer, and one of the early Playboy Playmates.While no one will dispute that bombshell Jayne Mansfield's death was from anything other than a car accident, she's still the subject of a particularly gory urban legend. It's long been rumored that the actress was decapitated, but that wasn't the case according to the police report. It seems that a widely-circulated photo of the accident scene with the actress' wig lying outside the car may have misled some into believing otherwise. She died June 29, 1967 at the age of 34.
